The Brits know what gravity bikers need: brute braking power in every situation. This should come from the four pistons of the new Evo GR4. A revised cam reduces the free travel at the lever without sacrificing the proven good modulation. A second sliding bush ensures smoother piston operation. There is a choice of three levers for customisation - all with non-slip ribbing and extensive adjustment. Price: 301 euros.

Stablead SFS-3601: It's upside down

Upside-down forks seem to be coming back into fashion. Stablead wants to shake up the market with its elegant carbon fork in 2026Photo: StableadUpside-down forks seem to be coming back into fashion. Stablead wants to shake up the market with its elegant carbon fork in 2026

The newcomers from California want to turn the suspension fork sector on its head with the Stablead SFS-3601 upside-down fork. The elaborate full carbon casting made from T800 fibres is intended to reduce the weight of the fork to around 2 kilos, significantly undercutting the upside-down competition in some cases. However, the fork will not make its debut until 2026 and will then offer up to 160 millimetres of suspension travel. One particular highlight is the damping: the customer can choose between mechanical and electronic control. Price: still open.

How do you like this article?

The guys at Daysaver didn't just want to build a pump that would stop you getting tennis elbow when setting up massive enduro tyres. The Incredible Pump is a real Swiss Army knife and works with or without a tube, which can be attached via a click mechanism. A complete set of tools can be stowed inside. Clever: the innovative screw-on pump head can simply be pulled off the valve thanks to its release mechanism, without the valve core coming loose. It goes without saying that the Incredible Pump runs as precisely as a Swiss watch. Also available in a small version with a volume of 40 CC. Minitool and pump hose are not included in the price. Price: 119.95 euros.

For a perfect fit and maximum comfort on enduro trails, Deuter has teamed up with plastics expert Oechsler to print its tried-and-tested Airstripe back in an innovative way from flexible EPU. Although the material is particularly permeable to air, the integrated protector can be made narrower, which also saves weight. The Highline fits snugly around the wearer and, with a volume of 8 or 14 litres, offers space for a full set of touring equipment. Price: 299 Euro >> at Mountain time or Deuter available.

With a new profile, it is now set to pick up speed again and keep gravity bikers on track. The open centre lugs penetrate deep into wet or soft ground and are designed to clear quickly. The large outer lugs are designed for maximum lean angle. Only available in the ultra-grippy MaxxGrip compound and with stable enduro and downhill carcasses. Price: from 79.90 euros.

So that you are not surprised by a bear while filming in the wilderness, Gopro is now wrapping its video wonder in a forest green camouflage. Price: 349,99 Euro >> available here at a reduced price.

6D Alterra: Shock absorber

The US helmet specialists fuse a carbon chin bar with a classic helmet shell in the Alterra. This reduces the weight to just 710 grams and protects the neck on rough descents. The claustrophobic feeling of many full-face helmets is also prevented and the head is also much better ventilated. The patented ODS system (Omni-Directional Suspension) is particularly exciting, with elastomers between the double-layered helmet shell designed to absorb rotational forces. Price: 435 euros.
